What else can I help you with?
Is the escape velocity higher for the earth or the moon?
The mass of an object is the same wherever it may be. The weight of an object changes however. The weight of an object is the product of its mass times gravity. Gravity is greater on earth than it is on the moon, so an object will weigh more on earth.
What is the escape speed from the surface of the earth?
The escape speed from the surface of the Earth is about 11.2 kilometers per second (about 25,000 miles per hour). This is the speed at which an object must travel to break free from the Earth's gravitational pull and not fall back down.
What may happen to a rocket which rises from the earth never attains escape velocity?
A rocket that doesn't reach "escape velocity" will be overcome by gravity and will be pulled back down to Earth. Also, rockets which go into orbit have not reached escape velocity. Escape velocity is what is needed to completely leave earth's gravity well.
Is the escape velocity from the center of the earth different from the escape velocity from Earth's orbit?
Yes, very much so.
If a body falls freely from infinity then it will be striking the earth with what velocity?
The body will be striking the Earth with a velocity equal to its escape velocity, which is around 11.2 km/s. At this velocity, the body will have enough kinetic energy to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and reach the surface.
A rocket that moves upward from earth's surface at escape velocity will?
Escape the earth's gravitational pull and continue out into space. However, a rocket does not need to be launched at the escape velocity as it can continue to accelerate as it climbs. A gun projectile would need to be fired with the escape velocity. In a perfect system with only the projectile and the Earth: If the projectile is fired with the exact escape velocity it will travel to infinity away from the Earth. Upon reaching infinitely far away from Earth the projectile would have zero velocity. All of its kinetic energy (movement) would be transferred to potential energy.
What is escape velocity of speed?
You mean what is the escape velocity of Earth? If so, the answer is 11,2 km/s
The ratio of the radius of that of the moon is 10 .The ratio of g on the earth and on the moon is 6 then what is the ratio of the escape velocity from earth's surface to that from the moon's surface?
The escape velocity is given by √2gR Hence it's value Ve on the earth and Vm on the moon is Ve = √2ge.Re Vm = √2gm.Rm Therefore , their ratio = Ve/Vm = √ge.Re/√gm.Rm = √6 x 10 = √60 = 8 nearly
What is the Sun's escape velocity?
About 617.5 Km/s on Solar surface. About 42.5 Km/s around Earth's orbit.
Is escape velocity same for all objects?
Yes. It is different for different planets etc. Escape velocity on earth is different than escape velocity on Jupiter.
What is velocity that a rocket must attain to escape the force of gravity on earth?
The velocity of a any object to surpass the gravity of earth commonly known as escape velocity is 11.2Km/s.
What is the excape velocity on earth?
The escape velocity on Earth is approximately 11.2 kilometers per second (33 times the speed of sound). This is the speed required for an object to break free from Earth's gravitational pull and escape into space.
